McCulloughSL Terry Collins: "I was as surprised as anyone." Mets had intended to use Bay as platoon guy in 2013, until buyout took shape.

"You don't know how to drink. Your whole generation, you drink for the wrong reasons. My generation, we drink because it's good, because it feels better than unbuttoning your collar, because we deserve it. We drink because it's what men do."

I guess the Mets can keep a secret, even the beat reporters were blindsided.

Smart move

I believe this was SA's doing. I think he realizes he has a legitimate chance at getting Cody Ross, and he offered Bay the trade-off of salary deferral for freedom, time will tell, but if that's the case, that would be a smart move.

Yeah Sandy is smart enough to know how disgusted Met fans were with Jason Bay. They couldn't go into another season with him as a distraction.

It's good he is cleaning house of guys from the Minaya Era like Castillo, Perez, and Bay. They aren't part of the Met's future and they really didn't belong on the team anymore.
